Since you met the fur-cousins yesterday, I thought I would take a minute today to “formally” introduce you to the Brat Pack! Just a little fun for Saturday. Proper portraiture need not apply today. LOL On any given day, this is likely how you would find my couch: Needless to say, keeping the dogs off […]

If you know me, you know I have The Brat Pack living in my house – and they are very familiar with my camera and their craziness makes regular appearances on my Instagram. But, I also babysit my fur-niece and fur-nephew from time to time. And, they are not as resigned to being impromptu supermodels […]

We had a family photoshoot scheduled at a covered bridge which I had not heard of before. So, we got to the location early, just in case I got lost on my way (which has been known to happen.) The Sandy Creek Covered Bridge is a gorgeous little spot with lots of history and, less […]

My partner, Jay, doesn’t like to write. Or be seen. But, he is a fabulous photographer. So, I thought Wordless Wednesdays would be a great way to share some of his shots without him having to write any posts. LOL Jay is a big fan of HDR and IR photography and, in fact, he just […]

With the Hubs being so fitness focused these days, weather doesn’t keep him inside from his daily walks and hikes. Which frequently means that I’m dragged along for the “ride.” LOL Obviously, because everyone else is sane, we were the only people out on the trail that day and it was almost eerie. When I […]

Earlier this fall, The Hubs and I visited the World Bird Sanctuary here in St. Louis and saw some of the most gorgeous and, in some cases, endangered birds anywhere. The residents of the Sanctuary are there because they’ve been injured or for some reason cannot survive in the wild on their own. We got […]

Welcome to Sunday! It’s been busy, busy, busy around here, so if you have been in the same boat there, and you missed any of the Gothic Week entries, you can catch up here! Monday kicked off Gothic Week with “horror” of Bee Tree House: Tuesday took us up right up to The Cemetery Gates: […]

On Cherokee Street, in St. Louis, you will find a fantastic assortment of vintage specialty stores, antique merchants, resale shops, bistros, coffee shops, record stores, and book sellers. If you like it vintage, Cherokee Street is where it’s at. This is a gorgeous doorway on one of the historic homes on the street. All the […]

In St. Louis, it doesn’t get much more Gothic than the Lemp family and their brewery and mansion. The history of the family, their haunted mansion, and their brewery reads like Gothic fiction. The Lemp family name still towers over St. Louis today, although the family has long since passed into history and mystery. If […]

At the end of a lovely walking trail is this old bridge. Maintenance by the parks service ends several yards ahead and you can see that this hidden spot is a favorite of kids up to the usual kid things. I actually think I like this shot better than one I posted before. It has […]
